A Mexican-Canadian construction worker recently hung a Mexican flag atop Trump Towers in Vancouver in protest of the real-estate mogul's tough stance on illegal immigration. 

The flag hung for only a few minutes, long enough for 30-year-old Diego Saul Reyna to snap a photo while still in his workman gear. Reyna has since stated the act was meant to highlight that Mexican immigrants provide services people allegedly take for granted. 

"I put a Mexican flag on the roof of the Trump Tower in Vancouver, just to show that he is benefiting from us and that we are working hard on his projects and that we are not all criminals," Reyna explained in an interview with the CBC. 

In a Facebook post Saturday, Reyna elaborated on his opinions of Trump's immigration stance.  

"From the concrete pouring, finishing, drywall, taping, wood forming and general labor, Mexicans were there, building it,” Reyna wrote. "The comments Trump has made about us, did not stop us from doing the high quality work we have always done, in our home country or when we migrate to North America."

Despite the appearance, Reyna does not actually work on the construction of Vancouver's Trump Towers and only posed on the rooftop as a photo-op. 

"I did this to counter attack all his statements about Mexicans and Muslims. The last straw was when he spoke against women. He cannot be insulting people he is benefiting from," Reyna told the Vancouver Sun.

"Look at that building, look how beautiful it is … and that is a result of a coordination of all the ethnic groups in Canada," he told CBC News, adding, "I’ve seen every race and every religion working in that building."

Reyna has since become a hero for leftists, earning highlights on Salon and HuffPost Canada.
